As i said, i expect its just coincidence that Westwood and Bridge used the same cheap shot technique to hit a player on the ground and unable to defend themselves.

In that one case, Westwood was taking a cheap shot, nothing new, he's a cheapshot merchant - but Webb is worse.

That said, I am glad Webb plays for Leeds

I am rather glad Webb plays for Leeds as well, and can well understand his frustrations with some of the less talented opposition players he encounters.

At this late stage in his career he has nothing left to prove,and I just wish he would use his experience more, and his head hunting tackling less.

That said, I don't think anyone should really be penalised for giving Westwood a smack.....it's hardly going to ruin his film star looks, now is it?

Brent Webb was once a very talented RL player - now he just looks jaded, cynical and grubby; the horrible gurning and ranting at the officials every time he's tackled gives the impression of either a big baby or a prima-donna.

He's still creating try after try after try. But his petulance has been more than an irritant for some time now.

Does he? I know he creates penalty after penalty for the opposition.

Oh, wait, he does create tries for them too when he lets the ball bounce.

Westwood- cheap shot artist

One thing I do know, he collects Grand Final winners rings like nobodies business. The biggest baby in Rugby league is Lee Briers, if anyone dares to look at him he bawls and wets his pants.

Well Leeds have set the standard everyone else has to follow to win a Grand Final. Warrington are apparently emulating the cheap shot part of that standard so if they can emulate the "Sinfield being the second ref" and "How dare people tackle me" parts of it then the Grand Final will be theirs soon enough.

And yet, numerous coaches in both the NRL and SL have continued to select him week in, week out. In many cases, despite having a number of supposedly better (according to opposition fans) options available.

They clearly are missing something that you and the other whiners in this thread can see - you really should take up elite level coaching with such amazing insight.

You'll be p*ssing away what's left of your credibility next by telling me you'd rather have Grix the Lesser in your team at full-back. Tell him Zak Hardaker says hello and thanks for all the tries

I did think Westwood got away with a pearler on Webb, but at the same time like they said on the NRL game commentary i watched last weekend when Tahu gave a penalty away while in possession inside the oppo 20, "like my old coach said, when you've got the ball in your hand, they can bite your face off and you shouldnt react".

I have always thought he had a bit of a bo selecta head.

Webb of 2009
Excellent

Webb of 2012
Liability

I don't think Webb has changed since 2005 at NZ Worriors he has always been agressive, petulant and questionable tackle technique. Not been his biggest fan last year but his attack has drastically improved on last year, and is creating chances in attack
